Disappointment overall. It did not carry enough comic book flavor for me. The jokes were decent and well placed but a bit over the top and somewhat flat at times. The special affects were good, character development was so-so, overall story line all over the place. I was expecting more from the Premiere as it did not pull me in like the show Heroes (much better done in my opinion).

We shall see after another week, if it does not start to come together better its off the rotation.

If you're his bitch, I'm his huckleberry. I'm definitely in for as long as it runs, assuming it doesn't turn to total crap (ala Heroes, beyond an episode or two prior to the conclusion of the first season )

I think the gotcha with the car is that there were so many things that directly mirrored the end of BTTF, from the wheels swiveling down, to the way the car lifted off, flew away from the camera, did a U-turn, then flew back into the camera. Yes, SHIELD had the flying car before BTTF, we will readily grant, but the way they depicted it here was very, very reminiscent of BTTF.

Right, and clearly that's not the case (that the viewers would have been thinking about the comics). But what the producers intended and how the viewers interpreted it are, I would argue most strenuously, two entirely different things.

Although I must admit I kind of wandered away from Dollhouse (I kind of blame Dushku for that one. It takes a great actor to constantly change into another person. And she just wasn't good enough to do that).

The one who was amazing on Dollhouse was the guy who played Victor. That dude was a fricken chameleon. I'm also a huge Amy Acker fan. Surely, Joss could have found a spot for one of them on this show ...

Overall, I enjoyed the pilot. It didn't suck me in the way Firefly did, but it was a fun ride. Not digging the Wonder Twins at all. Love Ming Na's character! The Eliza Dushku chick is hot!

Acker was promoted to regular on Person of Interest this season so I'm going to guess her availability is limited.
